Best 'FAIL LAUNCH' in MMO history

[Eggochiggo]

WoW launch issues? I played WoW through Mists of Pandaria expansion and had no issues with any patches or expansions except BC for a couple hours. I did not start WoW on initial launch, but I had many friends that did and they were not locked out of the game for hours on end unless there was a massive patch which happened within a day or two, not a week after these problems were showing themselves.

To be honest I'm not sure how this wasn't caught before launch when hundreds of thousands of peoople had issues with the pre-order code servers, if you can't even handle people to retrieve pre-order codes do you expect their game servers to be handle the load and now they are acting like they can't believe how many people are subscribing. Also they are claiming the server will even be overloaded for a few hours after the patch, shouldn't they realize that patches should be plenty and often so maybe instead of screwing people over and over again they should fix this from the start.

It isn't expected that their shouldn't be log-in issues, but I can't remember a game where you couldn't log in for a period of a week without spamming log-in for 5-6 hours.

Absolutely agree.
